It was great to talk with you on the phone.  I just want to let you know that Lucy, female #1, continues to amaze us.
 
Glen, Parker, our teenage son, and I absolutely love Lucy.  It is amazing that you shipped her Sunday and she immediately became a member of our family. 

 She is so good with the cats and the most well adjusted puppy imaginable.  We say "potty" and she goes out with us and does her "business".  Lucy follows us everywhere...and is already "herding" us and the cats.  She sleeps in her kennel at night in our bedroom.  As hard as it is to believe...she retrieves a small ball that Parker bought her.  We roll it and she brings it back and drops it for us to roll, again.  Lucy honestly retrieves at this young age.  She is so very smart, alert and wants to please.  I truly believe that the way the litter has been socialized has made all of the difference.
 
 As you know, we believe the Border Collie / Australian Shepherd combination is great;  and Lucy has more than lived up to our expectations. 
 
I know there are many puppies available in our area....but I am so thankful that we found Bob's Aussie Ranch.  Robin, your communication with us from the beginning gave us confidence that we made the correct decision in choosing Darby and Asa's puppy for our family.  We love our puppy, Lucy, so very much.  Thank you for all of the care, socialization and attention that she received in her first 8 weeks of life....she is so well adjusted and happy.
 
We will send you pictures soon.
